I've reformatted your code which will let you find one error easily
and added a few comments (the ### lines)

<?php
$handle = opendir('pictures');
if ($handle) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

### this will match foto5jpg without extension;
### probably you will not have such a filename in the directory
### but you may want to remove the () and escape the .
if (preg_match("/\w+(.jpg)/", $file)) {

### when someone clicks the filename do you want
### them to go to the "pictures" directory?
### AND check your quotes
print "<a href='pictures'>"$file"</a>";

### Why are you printing $file twice?
print "$file <br>";
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>
